Fresh off of a championship, the Nuggets are looking to do what no one has since 2018: go back-to-back. They are returning almost all their key pieces with two-time MVP Nikola Jokic looking for a third award.

A title defense is not out of the question but it won’t come with an overly dominant regular season.
